DRAGONS TROUNCE CATS 39-0 The Wampus Cats of Leesville High met their third defeat of the sea- son as the Dragons of DeRidder turned a foot- ball game into a field day and swamped the Cats 39-0. At the last of the first half the Dragons had managed to run the score up to 20-0. And in the last half scored 19 more points. The Cats were some what hampered by the loss of their fullback Coburn who was put out of the game in the second quarter. Another chief reason for the bogging down of the Cat's offense was the bone jarring, teeth ratt- ling tackling of Sammy Goodaux who kept the Cat runners bottled up all night.
